This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying on, as a joint-stock enterprise, the well known engineering works of Mr. Henry Grissell, situate in the Eagle Wharf-road, -Regent's_ Cana , L on d on. Mr. Grissell's works cover a space of 21 acres of land, and Possess a frontage of 70) feet on the Eagle Wharf-road, with nearly the same extent of water frontage. Being situated on the Iteg,ent's Canal, they are connected with the Thanes and with all the r iilways which run into London, and are other- Wise admirably adapted to the requirements of the business to be conducted therein. They are now in full operation, and the Company will thus at once enter upon an existing and profitable business. It is intended to work, in conjunction with this business, some valuable patents which the Company have arranged to acquire for improvements in an important class of steam agricultural machinery, for which there is a largely increas ing , emand at home and abroad, and for the manufacture of Which these premises are well adapted. The Regent's Canal Iron Works were established by Mr. Grissell in the year 1814, and since that time have been most successfully carried on under his imme 'iate supervision. For heavy and expensive castings, and for iron bridges, and the like, his works stand unrivalled. He has founded, in connec tion with these works, an extensive continental as well as home connection. Within the last few yosrs many important engineering establishments have been transferred from private hands to form the basis of joint-stock enterprise, and with the moat marked success. Amongst these may be named the works of Mr. John Ashbury, now The Ashbury Iron and Waggon Company of Manchester • the works of Mr. J o h n B arrow, of Staveley, now The Staveley Iron and Coal Company (limited); ant those of Mr. John Brown, now known as John Brown and Company, of Sheffield. The shares of all these are at a very large premium. The terms tuon which the Directors have engaged to pur chase Mr. Grissell's works, are founded upon a valuation made by Messrs. Fuller and Horsey, and are most satisfac tory. Mr Grissell has agreed to leave in the business a con derable portion of the purchase money, and for the present to take upon himself the respon-ibilities of Managing Director. The shareholders will incur no liability beyond the amount of shares allotted to them. Applications for shares must Dc made upon the annexed form. Each applicant will be re quired to pay into the bankers of the Company £l. per share on the number of shares a: plied for, and noon allotment to make a turthtr payment of L 2 per shire on the shares allotted to him. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full. Further calls will be made at intervals of not less than two months, and no call will exceed £2 per share.

This day the prozeedings cannot fail to be attrac tive, as will be seen from the following : DETAIL OP SHOOTING.—SHOOTING TO COMMENOE AT 9 15 Ist Stage Queen's-200 yards, targets 1 to 28.

TEETH, —Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always useful, and will last a lifetime.

Yesterday firing commenced at several of the ranges, and was kept up with spirit till the gun fired at sundown, or more accurately speaking, a quarter of an hour later, it having been found ne cessary this year, in consequence of the number of prize competitions to be got through daily, to lengthen the perioi of shooting by 45 minutes, gained in equal contributions from the morning, the evening, and the allotted interval of rest in the middle of the day. The matches yesterday con tested were for the most part outside the more im mediate business of the Association, but for the sake of convenience are always shot at Wimbledon, and two of them, the competitions between Oxford and Cambridge, and between the different Middle sex corps for the bronze medal given to the best shot of his own county,never fail to excite considerable in terest. The ranges in either case were 200, 500, and 600 yards, five shots at each, Hythe position. In the Oxford and Cambridge match Ensign R. Thompson, V Cambridge University,was the winner, making an aggregate score at the three ranges of 44. In the Middlesex competition the bronze medal was gained by two points less, but the competition was a close one, as will be seen by the following score : 200 Yds. 500 Yds. 600 Yds. Total Puts. Puts.

The arrangement is of the simplest kind, and will be understood in a very few words. At the firing point is a small oak post about three feet high, from the base of which wires coated with gutty percha run to the protecting mantlet at the other extremity of the range, inside of which, and quite under the control of the marker at the butts, is a small electric battery, a call-bell, or alarm, and an interrupter for the purpose of breaking the electric current. As soon as the person about to fire is ready, a small button on the summit of the post is pressed down with the finger; this completes the electric circuit, and the bell at the butts immediately begins to ring, at the same time that a needle on the dial of the indicator fixed to the post is deflected, showing to the parties who have set the apparatus in motion that the bell is ringing to a certainty at the other end. It continues to do so till the marker in his turn presses his finger upon the brass knob of the interruption, which breaks the electric circuit, stops the ringing of the bell, and the needle at the firing end of the range immediately reEumes its vertical position. Both parties then know that all is ready and safe, and the shot is fired. The perfect manner in which space is annihilated by this little instrument must be seen to be believed. It is asserted that in the course of experiments made by the Long Range Club at Hounslow signals were made after the shots had been fired and answered before the bullets reached the targets. The material of which the Swiss targets are composed did not quite answer yesterday the expectations which had been formed concerning it, but the necessary mea sures have been taken, and today matters will be on a different footing. One distinguishing feature of the annual gather ing at Wimbledon is the readiness with which it adapts its arrangements to circumstances, however unexpected and trying. If Volunteers in excess by some hundreds of the numbers looked for, or which ever came before, intimate their intention of sleep ing in camp that very night, the resources of the secretary, Captain Mildmay, prove equal to the de mand. If some valuable prize be offered, or some inleresting problem started which requires a prac tical solution, Captain Page, the executive officer, is able to see his way through the maze of targets and the labyrinth of squads to a day and an hour when the competition can take place without inter fering with previous arrangements apparently occupying every inch of the ground. Lastly, if the system of marking has to be revolutionised in a single night, Captain Drake, R.E., is the man to do it. It remains, however, to be seen whether an undertaking to which the Association has just com mitted itself, and which certainly was not foreseen when their programme was drawn up, will be car ried out with the same success as its other arrange ments. Last year midnight meetings were of fre quent occurrence, and these have now led to a mid night match. The design had its origin in a letter courteously addressed to the Association on behalf of the Owl, the proprietors of which offered a prize of £5O to be shot for on any conditions the council might suggest. They naturally came to the con• elusion that "the witching hour" was the only one appropriate to such a contest, and they have ac cordingly undertaken to provide targets with trans parent centres, in which not bull' s b u t ow l's eyes shall attract the aim of the marksman. One of the principal difficulties which the Asso ciation has now to contend against arises from the enormous addition to the htbours of the statistical Naval and Military Intelligence, The chartered troopship Michael Scott, Capt. J. W. Padley, which embarked the reinforcements of cavalry, artillery, and infantry troops at Gravesend on Monday, for Bombay, was detained in the river until yesterday afternoon, in consequence of some alterations having been found necessary in the berths for the troops. These were coin , when th e Michael Scottpleted i m m e yesterday di a tel y a g f o t e t r n u o n o d n e r Way, with a light wind from the eastward. Yesterday Major-Gen.

Council for India to convey reinforcements to India, prior to the troops embarking at Gravesend to-day, In older to hasten the completion of the iron fri gate Achilles, 6,070 tons, 1,250-horse power, which is required to be out of the shipwrights' hands, in readiness to proceed to sea by the 25th of the ensu ing month, an order has been received at Chatham dockyard directing the workmen connected with the smiths'department to be employed three hours extra daily, and, in addition to their ordin ary pay , t o re . ceive " exertion money." The order a l so di rects t h a t the workmen and mechanics employed on the screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400 horse power, and the Torch, 5, 80 horse power, are also to be paid "exer tion money," both those vessels being required for immediate service. Yesterday upwards of 100 tons of the 5-inch and 6,-inch iron armour plates for the Bellerophon and Lord Warden ironclad frigates were landed at Chat. ham dockyard from the Millwall Ironworks, and the Atlas Works, Sheffield. There are now between 1,000 and 2,000 tons of armour plates in store at Chatham dockyard for the Bellerophon and Lord Wardcn, both of which vessels are being pushed forward as rapidly as the resources of the dockyard will allow. The Fawn, 17, screw steam sloop, 751 tons, 100- horse power, recently commissioned by Commander Charles J. Wrey, was taken to the measured mile off Maplin Sands on Monday for the final trial of her machinery previous to her departure from Sheerness for the protection of the Scotch fisheries. During the trial the vessel was in charge of Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., of the Sheerness Steam Reserve, the machinery being under the inspection of Mr William Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr George Blaxland, chief engineer of Sheerness dockyard. The draught of water was 14ft lin for ward, 14ft llin aft ; the load on the safety valve was 201 b; steam in the boilers at full power, 201 b; at half-boiler power, 171 b ; the vacuum, 27 ; the 90, minimum, revoluti onsA a n t boiler powe r ; 6016 knots at half () of v e e n r aggi n e es s — pe l l axi o n 77.239 knots was 8o bs.t3a 3i n. ed power ; the force of wind being 4, easterly.

The whole of Capt. Rodger's anchors now at Woolwich on the improved principle, weighi n g 5 Mt- and 12 cwt., are ordered to be forwarded to Sheerness to be appropriated to ships in commission. The paddlewheel vessel Vivid yesterday returned to Woolwich, having conveyed the son of Prince Frederick William of Prussia and the Princess Royal from Calais to Dover, on a visit to her Ma jesty. The Vivid left 'Woolwich on Sunday, have ing been despatched hastily on the receipt of a tele gram from the Admiralty for that purpose. On the receipt of her orders she Was stripped, her crew hulked on board the Salsette for repairs, and the ship had already received a coat of paint through. out. The crew were berthed, however, stores were reshipped, and the Vivid duly under way sailing at the appointed time. The Prince and his attendants crossed from Calais to Dov er on Tuesday. The Princess Royal is expected, it Was stated, to arrive also in England in a few days. The greatest expedition is being at present used in bringing forward the Terrible, 21, paddlewheel frigate, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, and preparing her for the pennant. A large number of artisans are at present working overtime on her. Her boilers are shipped, and she is now taking in her machinery in the large basin at Sheerness. When completed she will be almost a new vessel, but it will be some months before she is ready for sea. A party of caulkers belonging to Chatham dock yard have been directed to proceed to Deptford, for the purpose of assisting in Caulkin— g- the iron-clad corvette favourite, 10,2, 186 tons, and the paddle wheel sloop Basilisk, 6, 400-horse- power, both of which vessels are required to be completed with all possible despatch. The Lord Warden target, Which was recently destroyed at Shoeburyness, is to undergo a thorough repair, the Lords of the Admiralty having aban doned the intention of removing it to Chatham dockyard, where it wa s constructed, and the repairs are now ordered to be effected at Shoeburyness by a body of shipwrights and mechanics, who are to be sent from the dockyard for that purpose. The Ad miralty transport D ov e is ordered to convey the necessary materials from Chatham to Shoebury ness for the repair of the target, previously to its being again experimented upon.

Wodoworth, its, THE WAR IN DENMARK, (From the Special Correspondent of the limes.) AUSTRIAN HEADQUARTERS, KOLDING, JUTLAND, July 8. I passed the greater part of yesterday at Voile, 17 miles northward from this place, where I had not been since the second day of the action between the Danes and Austrians early in the month of March. Gen. Hegermann Lindenkrone, who commanded the Danish troops on that occasion, got considerable discredit among his countrymen for what they con sidered slackness or tardiness, and some persons here seem to think it possible that, in order to re trieve his reputation, he might be disposed now to risk an action on or near the Liim Fiord. The most conflicting reports continue to prevail as to the troops the Danes have in North Jutland, and I sus pect the German Generals are puzzled to decide on a plan of operations. Very large forces have gone up north, as well as many boats and pontoons, but the principal commanders of the allied army still remain south, Prince Frederick Charles at Apenrade, and Gen. Gablenz here. A part cf the Austrian comman der's staff yesterday went up to Veile, and were to pass the night there, which looks as if there were a chance of these headquarters moving north wards. That the Danes can gain any important advantage by risking an engagement at the Liim Fiord is not believed. It is assumed that the whole Danish army does not now amount to 30,000 men, and that esti mate, indeed, was made before they lost 3,000 or more on Alsen. As they cannot leave Funen un• guarded, 15,000 men is the largest number it is sup posed they could assemble in North J utland. These would be assailed by greatly superior forces, and even if they were so fortunate as to repulse a first attack the reserves close at hand would render it hopeless for them long to hold their ground. The probability appears to be that they have withdrawn most of their troops to Funen. A Danish officer who was taken in the skirmish on the 3d inst. at Lindenburg told persons here and at Veile that the forces north of the Liim Fiord were very small. Ap parently the Allies find a difficulty in getting trust worthy spies to serve them in North Jutland. I have some reason for believing, however, that a des cision is on the point of being arrived at, and that, within a day or two, a further move will have been made towards the north, or else the chief efforts of the Allies will be directed against Funen. The decision rests with Prince Frederick Charles, and his orders are awaited with impatience. Meanwhile the pressure of requisitions, and the inconvenience suffered by the inhabitants in consee quence of certain purely military measures that are being taken with a view to probable operations against Funen, have produced a strong effect in this southern corner of Jutland. From Snoghoi and other villages in the neighbourhood deputations have waited on the highest military authorities, asking leave to send, by a flag of truce to Funen, petitions to the King, to which it is affirmed that thousands of signatures can speedily be obtained, imploring him to take measures to put an end to the war and to the terrible evils it entails upon the country. This is in a contrary sense to certain addresses sent from places in Jutland during the armistice, and contain ing, besides professions of loyalty, protestations of the willingness of the people to bear their burdens, and the assurance that they did not wish to see the war terminated on unfavourable conditions for ' the sake of relieving them. Those addresses, the promoters of the present ones now say, were got up by handfuls of agitators, by parsons who had little to lose, and who hoped to gain by a dis play of simulated zeal. Doubtless they en couraged Copenhagen in its obstinacy and gave occasion to the war journals of that capital to make light of the misery the contest was i nflict ing on Jutland. This may have passed muster with those who desired to believe in it, or who sought only to pander to the purposes of a fanatical party. But one needs not go very far into Jutland to con template the reverse of the medal, and to see how terribly the province suffers, and how sorely it is oppressed and drained by the military occupa tion. Hers and at Veile the requisitions press with almost unendurable rigour upon the inhabitants. There is no exemption. What is demanded must be delivered, and if the people have not got it they must buy it. The army lives upon the country, and some persons here assert (with what truth I know not) that it even exacts more than it requires and sends the surplus into Schleswig. Here and at Veile I have heard bitter complaints of the harshness and exactions of the Prussians, who are said to treat the country en pays conquis in the fullest sense of the term, and to show no mercy if their most exorbitant demands be not instantly complied with. 1 myself have seen scarcely any Prussians since I came into Jutland, but I tell you what the Jutlanders say. The feeling towards them in this country seems as bad as it can be ; it is such as, were the people hot blooded Italians or Spaniards, instead of phlegmatic peaceable Danes, could hardly fail to produce the bands of exterminating guerillas and even individual assassinations. I.lnbargo on goods seized for war contribution still continues. Various merchants and shopkeepers here have portions of their goods sealed up. At Veile I was told of five of the principal shops being closed in like manner ever since May 11. The mer chandise is there, and as yet untouched, but mean while the owners are being ruined. The con dition of the remainder of Jutland, as regards re quisitions, sequestrations, and general pressure, is in no degree better than here, and if Copenhagen persist in carrying on the war even for a short time longer nothing less is to be anticipated than the total exhaustion and ruin of the province. The flourishing crops that now cover the ground will be gathered in for German benefit, and winter will find the peasant's garner empty and his means of sub sistence gone. The cows, which of evenings one now sees the women busily relieving of their milky stores, and then driving home for shelter from the keen air of a Jutland July night, will pass in detail into German stomachs —fortunately, perhaps, for them, since death by the knife will save them from the pangs of hunger when frost no longer allows them to seek nourishment afield. The hay that is now being made will before then have been consumed by the chargers of Prussian Cuirassiers and Hun garian Hussars. The Allies have a large force of cavalry in Denmark, and, besides that, the innu. merable horses which assist in transporting rations and other stores must be kept in good working con dition. On the road yesterday I passed nearly two miles of carts, conveying bread, hay, sacks of corn, great casks of wine branded " Vi enna " (Jutland supplies no such generous liquor), and innumerable other requisites for the legions now in front. At Via, a village nearly half way between Kolding and Veile, there is an open air depot, similar to the one at Atzbull, between Gravenstein and Duppel, where artillery, ammunition, fascines, gabions, &c., are collected. Close to it is a cross-road leading down eastwards, in the direction of Snoghoi. The Danish officials employed in Jutland in the collection of taxes and in the general administration are to be continued in office so long as they are tractable and obedient and do their duty to the new . Government ; but any who prove insubordinate, or give trouble, will be at once sent over to their coun trymen in the islands, and will be replaced by Hol steiners or Schleswigers speaking Danish as well as German, and well-affected to the powers that be. If the war lasts long enough, this may be made a means of German propagandism in Jutland. A large German merchantman was attacked by a Danish gunboat the evening before last off the coast of Funen. Not having brought to when summoned, she was fired at, and it is said two shots struak her. She was taken into Beg ease. Persons who were at Fredericia yesterday say that they there saw the Danes busily engaged in armies their batteries near Middlefahrt. Informa tion from a very reliable source has reached me to the effect that the whole eff:ctive force of Danish infantry does not exceed 22,000 man. There may be more on paper, but considerable deduc►tions must be made for the hospitals. To the above number we must add cavalry, artillery, engineers, &c., but the total would still be considerably under 30,000 men. With these Fallen must be garrisoned—and the whole of them would rot be too many to resist an attack on the scale on which the allies would make it—and some provision must be made for Copenhagen, where it is believed, at least by the Germane, that the Government cannot safely dis. penso with the presence of a respectable armed force. It is difficult to suppose that any large body can have been left in North Jutland, exposed to the al most certainty of fresh disaster and diminution. I see that the Danish papers talk of some extra ordinarily long bridges, put together in a creek on the Sundewitt side of Alsen Sund, and which, after the first Prussians had been landed from boats on the morning of the 29th ult., were suddenly shot, so to speak, across the Sound, propelled, it would seem, by a couple of locomotives (of what nature is not stated), and that so the channel was in a moment bridged, and thousands of Prussians poured over, rendering resistance utterly hopeless on the part of the outnumbered Danes. Out of the Arabian Nights anything so marvellous was never heard of. Consi dering that the narrowest:part of the Sound is seve ral hundred yards broad(except in the neighbourhood of Sonderborg, where it is not pretended that the crossing took place) it must have been a most strik ing spectacle to see this bridge, a quarter of a mile or more in length, suddenly thrusting its nose, like the snout of some giant alligator, out of an opening in the bank, darting straight across and stopping only when run to ground against the Alsen shore. The myth appeals pleasingly to the imagination, and I regret to dissipate it by assuring you again that the passage was effected entirely by boats pro pelled by oars, No supernatural means are requi site to effect the surprise of such drowsy watchers as the Danes, on that and other occasions, suffi ciently showed themselves to be. ItICF STAMPED ....sd. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—The election of a member for the eastern division of Gloucestershire took place yesterday at Gloucestershire. In conse quence of the retirement of the Hon. Mr Dutton, the anticipated contest between two Conservatives for the seat rendered vacant by the death of Sir C. W. Codrington was avoided, and Sir Michael E. Hicks Beach was elected without opposition. He was met by his friends and supporters at the Bell Hotel, the headquarters of the Conservative party inGlou cestershire, and by them escorted to the Shirehall, without beat of drum or tintinnabulary accompani ment. The hon. candidate wore a blue scarf, and some of his supporters exhibited the same colours, but the proceedings were conducted very quietly. The HIGH-SHERIFF having observed the usual formularies, and put the usual questions, The Hon. W. L. BATHURST formally nominated Sir Michael Hicks Beach, of Williamship-park, as a fit and proper person to represent the division of the county in Parliament. In the course of some observations on the political topics of the day Mr. Bathurst referred to the candidate's declared senti ments with regard to Denmark, observing that while sympathising with that country he was not prepared to advocate an armed interference in their behalf. He (Mr. Bathurst) believed that in expressing this opinion Sir Michael was right. Peaca vs , as the policy of this country. It was not with nations as with individuals—nations could not afford to be chivalrous, and he believed the less we meddled with foreign affairs the better, or rather we had meddled too much with them already. Mr. I. C. HAYWARD, county chairman, seconded the nomination, and paid a tribute of respect to the memory of the late member, Sir C. W. Codrington. Ten years ago he (Mr. Hayward) had nominated in that place the father of the present candidate, who had been returned by a triumphant majority. g his son--a y oung It was the will of God, however, that they sho u ld be early dep r i ve d of his services, and he h a d now ggerneattlemsaatniswfahetoiohnad sucinpereospsofusilnly pursued his studi es at Oxford, and had taken first class places in Law, Jurisprudence, and Modern History. No other candidate being proposed, the High- Sheriff, after a short pause, declared Sir Michael Hicks Beach duly elected. (Loud and reiterated cheering.) Sir M. E. Hicxs BEACH then addressed the elee. tore. After thanking them for the honour done to him and to the memory of his father—and joining in the tribute of respect paid by the preceding speakers to the late Sir C. W. Codrington—he said he felt that it Was not owing to any merit of his own that he had been elected. It was rather owing to certain events which had taken place in that county ten years ego, He believed that as soon as the present vacancy occurred the minds of the Con servative party in the division generally had turned to the circumstances of the last contest and to the name of one who ►had taken a prominent part in it ; and he believed they had elected him that day be cause they thought that he represented the same principles as his father did when he contested the division :ten years ago, and because they believed that the confidence which they had formerly placed in the father would not be forfeited by the son. (Cheers.) It should be his (Sir Michael's) endeavour to merit that confidence, and in order to do so he could not do better than follow, as far as in him lay, in the footsteps of their late member, who for thirty years had faithfully represented the Conservative party in the House of Commons. For his own part he would say that his (Sir Michael's) principles were truly and thoroughly Conservative. He would make no promise to vote on every occasion against the present Government, neither would he promise always to follow in his votes the present Opposition, but he would promise to oppose Radical alterations and innovations, from whatever quarter they might emanate. (Cheers.) He then proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. This having been carried, the new member was girt with the sword of a knight of the shire, and the proceedings terminated. BRISTOL. A requisition signed by 3,258 electors of Bristol Is to be present e d t o Si r S. M. Peto to-day inviting him to come forward as a candidate for the seat which will be vacated at the close of the present Parliament by Mr. W. H. Gore Langton, who has intimated his intention not to offer himself for re election. The Conservatives will contest the seat, but have not yet announced the candidate they in tend to propose. At the last election Mr Langton was returned by a majority of 80 over Mr (after wards Sir F. W.) Slade, his ConservatiNe opponent. Mr H.
